Viper4Android App for Rooted Android! [Best Audio App]

This video was brought to you by AndroidRoot.org. Click Here to See at AndroidRoot.org

For those of you with a rooted Android smartphone or tablet, you probably want to know that there’s an awesome audio app that’s free and you can install on any rooted Android device. This app is better than anything on the Play Store and it’s free.

If you thought rooting an Android device was unnecessary, Viper4Android is one app that’s going to make you want to root your Android device.

Many custom ROMs do come with Viper4Aandroid MOD but if it does not or you are on stock ROM, you can install Viper4Android manually and it’s very easy.

Viper4Android FX is like the “advanced” version of DSP Manager/Beats Audio by providing you with more advanced Surround/Bass/Clarity/Gain boost controls in addition to an equalizer that you can use for your headphones, speakers, bluetooth devices, and more.

So, if you don’t have Viper4Android MOD on your Android device, here’s how to install it.

Step 4. Once unzipped, you will find two different APK files. If you are using Android 2.3.X Gingerbread, use the APK file with “2.3” in it. If you are using Android 4.X such as ICS or Jelly Bean, use APK file with “4.x” in it.

Select the APK file and install.

You may have to check “Unknown Sources” on.

Step 5. Run the Viper4Android app and you should get a Superuser request window.

from since i install beats installer my FX stopped working how can i fix this.. please help﻿

Max Lee

Try uninstalling beats, then reinstall Viper4Android.

http://none Mano

I tried that unfortunately Vier4Android Fx has stopped .. after installing beats my Samsung music app stopped working an Music Fx stopped worker also Viper stopped working .. Any idea in how i can fix those problems ?

I was wondering the same thing. I have beats installed also and it makes changes to init.d and also system/bin. I could see why this may conflict with viper. My build prop settings were already false

Jimmy Slate

Beats, worst program ever to get rid of, short of doing a complete reset it never wants to go away. That’s what I had to do but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an easier way, its just the only way I could get rid of it and get my drivers back. Hope you can find an easier way but its the only thing that worked for me. Good luck !

http://none Mano

when u say a complete rest do u mean Factory reset ?

Jimmy Slate

I’m sure you probably tried that, DEFINITELY try that first, but beats isn’t that easy to get rid of . it was my experience that I just had to replace the drivers with the infected beats, you can’t just uninstall it. Now I’m not a pro by any means,, this is just my hobby, but I’ve done a hell of a lot of trial and error with my note 2 and the only way that I could FULLY remove beats from my drivers was to reinstall new filmware and start from scratch. this is just WHAT I DID because I knew it would work and i got ALOT of time on my hands and i enjoy it. IT DOESNT mean there isnt an easier way. But if youre like me and love to take things apart and put them back together it`ll work. But AGAIN, I’m no pro, just love to get high on Android. Good Luck man and if you find an easier way to totally rid your phone (drivers) of beats, post it on here for others.

AGAIN, there may be an easier way, but everything else I tried

Mano

I’m totally new to all this. . I herd s4 suppose to get Android 4.3 will that update fix it or do I have to use samsung Kies to reinstall the firmware im currently on offical stock os .. beats installer is real garbage messed up my phone music fx:(

Jimmy Slate

P.S. it was worth it to me because viper blows beats out of the water!! No Contest!!!

Louis Phillion

i dwl the file from xda the fx version and when trying to open from es explorer it says bad zip file any idea?

Louis Phillion

problem solved i extracted the zip file on my computer first and installed apk after…

Jimmy Slate

Hey mano, you’re rooted and have recovery right?

Mano

whats recovery. . I use this program one click an it root the phone

Ify Micha

Hi Max! I have downloaded and install V4A on my GT-n7100 and it works with my stock samsung music place which has been my default music player. I am so happy it works with it.
Thanks to Jasper Loo (zhuhang) for this app also thanks for posting it here.

Dave

Hey, I keep getting a failed message. When I try to do the first update I get this message. “Driver install failed, please confirm your phone is rooted and su binary installed.”
Thanks

JL

I got same problem.

After “reinstall” SuperSU on my galaxy sii, it solve the problem.

“Reinstall” is under SuperSU’s setting manu.

stephen

I’m getting the same error message “please confirm your phone is rooted…” … And I don’t see reinstall superuser in me settings. Its there another way to install the driver?

jimmy slate

Hey Mano, since youre new to all this, first thing to do is make sure youre rooted. An easy way is to download titanium backup from play store (free) when you open it it will ask you for superuser request if your phone is rooted, if not it will tell you in layman’s terms you dont have the binary (no root) and will not open. Or just download Root Checker from playstore (free) open it and follow the easy steps.. either way if your phone doesnt ask for superuser request you are not rooted but on root checker app it will tell you “congratulations your device is rooted” in green letters. If not, red letter response “no root access”. Try opening titanium backup app first, thats a sure fire way to know for sure. You may already know all this but it never hurts to ask.
However, I dont know how you attempted to root your phone so just check for sure youre rooted, then go from there. Ill help you out anyway I can you you need it, (recovery), but one thing at a time is best, at least it was for me at first.

Sorry I should have mentioned this first, I’ve got a galaxy note 2 SGH-i317m (Camadian) running the latest carbon ROM.
And I’m rooted thanks for the responds btw:)
Can you still help me out?

Mano

thanks for the reply explanation im rooted used the kingo android root program one click an my phones got rooted as for my s4 the beats messed with my music fx an my default samsung music player not working also.. im on ny stock 4 2.2 I think ill just wait tilll 4.3 offical avaiable for me an start from scratch

Mano

hey jimmy I reinstalize my stock ROM via kies then re root an now everything is well viper even make YouTube sound brilliant through I headphones .. PS to everyone don’t use beats installer its dog shit

I put this on my stock but rooted note3 and it works great for a while. But it randomly stops working. If I reboot the phone it works again for a while. Any idea what’s up? I almost wonder if a notification trips it and makes it stop working?

Andy Aguilar

I had the same issue. Download the jrummy busybox installer after you install busybox do the buildprop step and reboot. WHALA!

Norman Knobcheese

Voila not Whala!

Tw1tcH

It’s either or, dickhead

Vijay

Does’nt work for me. Should i reinstall viper or just busybox?

Andy Aguilar

Any idea what could be causing the app not to work? Im rooted on my note 3 (sprint) it works if i click on the song twice on Google music. I’ve used the app before, but those are my first problems on my note 3.

jimmy slate

I had the same problem with my att note 2 with viper, the most important thing is to install the correct drivers when you first install viper,,, it asks you between 4 choices at the beginning. Depends on which android version youre using , and which rom, at least for me It does. I really only know about note 2, 3 and 8 devices.
(Thats what I got) but in my experience a lot of sumsung devices are kinda like cousins. Blood related just different parents lol… but if you’re rooted and no damn bootloader bulsh*t, and really don’t wanna haggle with trial and error learning,,, the best thing to do is just install a rom with viper already. Less hassle. Just choose the correct viper drivers and that varies by your phone model and all the goodies you got installed already!

Tushar

Installed it with my Nex4…MIUI Rom…

Working awesomely great…

Thanks a tonnn

Blackrose

Hi

My nexus 4

There is no music effect option in sound

THANK YOU! Step 9. finally, FINally, FINALLY, got it working after months of trying.
Thank you for spending the time to get it working and most important, for sharing that solution with us.
Thank You

I installed and granted SU-access to viper4android (following your vids, of course). But, when I reach STEP 7 where it asks me for my sound quality, it halts with the error message “please ‘comfirm’ your phone has been rooted and su binary installed” . Though I can use the app, no audio driver gets installed. hence no avail. My phone is already rooted with SuperUser access granted to both Apps and ADB. I even installed another SuperUser app to see if if was somehow the default su-apps fault. But no luck.

History of my device: My i9100 was rooted when it had stock ICS. Then I installed JellyBam. After that i updated the CWM-recovery for Kitkat rom, and now it is rooted, and running Beanstalk 4.4.2 .

I have a rooted gt-i9100, with beanstalk 4.4.2 . And when i tried installing viper, it asks me to check for root and su-binary. how did u install it? any guidelines? do i need to install beats prior to viper??

jimmy slate

Question for buli141,,,,how can you run both beats and viper when you can only choose one music effect for sound? Would think one has to override the other. Do you have both icons showing on your status bar?

I watched the video above, went to viper-audio-homepage and previewed some demos. now i want it so badly in my Galaxy s2 (i9100).

After everything reboot your phone.
BEATS AUDIO will turn on automatically every time when you want to connect headphones
(see notif on screen)
VIPER4Android running all the time but when you disconnect headphones Viper is switching sound to Phone Speaker ( notif always turn on)
So, on headphones you will see Beats and Viper.

I had installed and tried all other super user apps except the chainfire one.

The problem got solved by just installing Super-SU (chainfire). it downloaded and updated the SU-Binaries and voila, Viper installed its drivers and its working. Thanks a lot once again.

Where did you find a flashable zip for kitkat??
Only way I know to get viper fx for 4.4.2 is to install the apk in a file manager app. Please enlighten if you would! Thanks!!!

Can you please show us how to update Viper if a rom comes with an older version? I cannot get the driver to install.

Michael in ATL

Max, I installed on T-Mobile Note 3 with Jedi on it. Everything finally worked as demonstrated in video, except I don’t have an control in settings for “Music Effects”. Is all of this for naught without that last important step?

Jordan

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I absolutely can’t live without viperFX but always had a hard time getting it to work properly on TW roms until applying that build.prop edit you outlined

jmmy slate

Michael in ATL. In settings press ui setting

Michael in ATL

Jimmy, thanks so much for the post, but I’m not seeing that. Perhaps because I’ve installed Jedi? Thoughts?

gopi

I have rooted my galaxy core i8262 and installed kitkat and its working but I dont have radio so pls some one can help me how I can instal a custom radio in it

heather

I did everything but i have no music effect button in my sound menu, so what do i do now?

Ben

I can’t find tunnel.decode. I haven’t rebooted yet. Is this a problem, have I just totally screwed up my system.

jimmy slate

Most of you guys are probably running 4.3. If you’re not running 4.4.2 yet just download viper4android from playstore! It’s the same thing!!! Just look for the one listed for 4.3 in the description. The rest of the description is in chinese but you’ll be able to see its for 4.3 The app itself is in english! Anyone who thinks it isn’t the same mod please do tell!! I’d love to hear why!

pete

I’m just wondering, will this work for me or will it brick (break) my phone? I’m kind of scared to reboot because I once tried a mod previously and I was left with a Samsung Galaxy Brick 4… anyone confirm this is safe for me to use? See the screenshot of my phone details, thanks
